Family Night - Glassblowing Edition

We went to McFadden Art Glass again and this time we brought Josh and Katelyn. It was a really fun night. We each got to make one icicle - actually, Josh and Katelyn each made two. :)

After Tim gets the hot glass, Josh picks out the colors.
Then Josh and Daddy heat up the glass to melt the colors.

Josh and Daddy hold tight to the glass while Tim twists the glass to make the icicle.

Heating the end of the cooled glass to make a loop for hanging the icicle.

Then it was Katelyn's turn to go - first choosing colors.

Katelyn and Mommy heating up the glass.

Katelyn working very hard to flatten the glass before it was time to twist.

Showing off the tools

Last step - wish we could remember what Katelyn was saying, but it was apparently pretty entertaining!
